Artist's Writings Marlene Dumas 

 
I never meant to stay
l suppose that's what they all say.

It  was my first time in a peepshow
so when the girl smiled at me
I said, 'Only looking', and she replied,
That's how I got started here too'.

Art and Prostitution
lf a Prostitute is a person
who makes it a profession
to gratify the lust of various persons
for economical reasons or gain,
where emotional involvement may
or may not be present-

Then it seems not so far removed
from my definition of an artist.
Artists usually love to pretend.
Artists usually pretend to Iove
much more than they can handle.
They want everyone to want them
while they don't want anybody.

Fame and Fortune
You can't get away from
the people you don't like
because they pay for you.

Sweet Nothings, op. cit., pp. 114, 131. 'Art and Prostitution' was originally published in the catalogue Auf
dem Strich: Arbeiten zum Thema Prostitution, Kulturviertel im Sophieenhof, Kiel, Germany. 'Fame and
Fortune' is previously unpublished
